Prayer Concerns:
LEE PITTMAN, husband of Linda,
was admitted to Regional on
Thursday night with pneumonia
and blood and sinus infections. He
received antibiotics and was
hoping to return home over the
weekend.
NICOLE HOYLE, wife of Brian, is
home from the hospital and will
begin chemo again this week.
DEAN ROBERTSON, husband of
Marilyn, remains in Dallas.
Marilyn asks that we all pray for
God’s will to be done.
JOHN SHAFER, husband of Kay, had
a test Wednesday on his ankle
which was swollen after back
surgery. Preliminary results were
no blood clot so prayers were
answered. Pray for complete
healing.
ALAN WRIGHT, husband of Melanie,
is doing better and regaining his
strength back. He and Melanie
will be going to court concerning
McGuire being a part of their
family. Please ask God to
intervene.
KEITH ROBINSON, husband of
Erica, had successful micro-lumbar
surgery Wednesday in Plano to
remove fragments of two discs.
He is home recovering.
JERRY ROBINSON, husband of
Carolyn, had a heart cath Wednesday and there was no need for a
stent. Further tests will be done
to determine what is causing his
shortness of breath.
DON PERRY, husband of Anna, will
hopefully be moved to a rehab
facility in Allen this week. Pray
that Don continues to get stronger
each day. The facility is near their
son Kirk’s home which will be
easier on Anna.
CONTINUED PRAYERS: Dwain
Sumpter, James Allwhite, Charles
Townsend, George Alexander,
David Wooten, Frank Williams,
Brad Wallace, and Gaylan Walton.
SYMPATHY
VIVIAN PORTER, mother of Alan Porter and Vicki Benson, grandmother of Mark
Porter, Karen Porter and Tori Upchurch, passed away Thursday. The family will
have a graveside service tomorrow at 11 am at Gum Springs Cemetery in
Hallsville.
CARING & SHARING DAY
Today is our quarterly Caring and Sharing Day. Thanks to your generous
help, and through our partnership with other congregations, we are able
to continue to supply food and clothing items to an average 1,200 families a month. The quarterly contribution is crucial to supporting these
needy families.
URGENT NEED
TASTE OF ALPINE

trip. The El Salvador team (Amy Pruitt, Chris & Becky Peurifoy, April
Hughes, Richard Pruitt and Pete Ulvog) thanks you!
THE MENU IS: PORK TENDERLOIN, GREEN BEANS AND MASHED
POTATOES - PREPARED BY ELGIN LARY.

FUN BUNCH PROJECTS
Fun Bunch members have two great opportunities to serve and love
others today and next Sunday.
KEEPING IN TOUCH began last Sunday and will be an ongoing ministry
program to serve and love Alpine’s members and guests. This ministry
program seeks to stay in touch with all who need special care and attention due to health concerns and age limitations. Fun Bunch members
and others can pick up a contact card at the Keeping in Touch distribution
and collection box in the Commons to send cards, make phone calls, and
personally visit those listed on the card. All identified are in need of
special care at this time.
LOVING ON LONGVIEW, scheduled for next Sunday, June 7, will provide projects that serve and love our community neighbors. Fun Bunch
members can choose a project and join others to share the love of Jesus
in meaningful ways. Sign up today in the Commons for both on campus
and off campus projects.

AGAPE’ ACRES ONION SALE
The community garden here at Alpine has been hard at work! They
invite you to enjoy the fruits of their labor by purchasing bundles of
Noonday and 1015 onions that were grown organically and harvested
right here in our own back yard! The sale will take place after service
today outside on the sidewalk by the front entrance to the Worship Center, in front of the Commons. The bundles are $5 each and all money
acquired will go toward future building projects in Agape’ Acres. Thank
you and ENJOY!
MOTHER & SON DATE NIGHT
Due to scheduling conflicts and many families being out of town, the
Mother and Son Date Night has been rescheduled for a later date. As
plans are made, the Family Ministry will notify parents of the new date.
FROM THE PRAYER TEAM
Pray for us to have an attitude of self-sacrifice for
Lovin’ on Longview Day, June 7th, as we remember Christ’s words in Matthew 26:40, “The King
will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did
for one of least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
EPHESIANS 5:1 - Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
